Victimization of women in the national and transnational realm with emphasis on criminological theories

From the second half of the twentieth century, criminologists changed their views on crime and considered crime as something beyond the offender, and in this regard, the victim was also considered. The purpose of this study is to explain the victimization of women with emphasis on criminological and victimological theories. And theories of rational choice, routin activities and lifestyle are known as theories of crime opportunities, and the theory of victim precipitation is defined as the victimilogical theory. In this article, these theories are used as the most important basis for victimization of women.

The present research was carried out using a descriptive-analytical method.

According to the theory of victim precipitation, the victim has a role in the process of committing criminal behavior, and according to this role, the victim deserves blame, and the victim's actions, such as age, gender, are the primary characteristics that can make her a target for crime. her position in situations that make it difficult for her to make optimal decision.. But regardless of their role as provocateurs or facilitators or lifestyles, women deserve differential support because of their vulnerability characteristics. And opportunity theories, in addition to acknowledging that crime opportunities can belong to different domains, claim that opportunity factors interact in different domains.
